When one thinks of witchcraft and spells, the tendency is to imagine a haggard woman of the wood reciting an incantation to hex her neighbor. This is unfortunate and completely inaccurate. To practice true witchcraft spells means to accept personal responsibility for one's actions and their consequences. So, before you fire up your cauldron, learn how to properly practice witchcraft spells.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Spell supplies and materials, as appropriate
  1. Step 1

    Decide on the spell you wish to perform. This will depend on your goal or intent, whether it be to increase financial abundance, find a new job or promote good health.

  2. Step 2

    Practice responsible ethics. Accept that we cannot always change what is meant to be, nor should we try to. Likewise, life is full of lessons that are intended to be learned from. So, examine your motives carefully before resorting to using a spell to bring about change through witchcraft.

  3. Step 3

    Follow the Witch's Pyramid when performing any spell. This is a set of four pillars (or principles) that are integral to success. They are: To Know (understand the mechanism of the spell and its effects), To Will (the ability to focus on your intent), To Dare (to believe that you are worthy of receiving this blessing) and To Keep Silent (don't negate the positive flow of energy set in motion by talking or bragging about your spell).

  4. Step 4

    Prepare the area for spellwork by walking in a circle three times deosil (clockwise) while cleansing the space once with sprinkled salt, again with blessed water and the final time with the smudging of incense, such as frankincense or myrrh.

  5. Step 5

    Consecrate any tools you intend to use when casting spells, such as a wand, pendulum or an athame (a special knife used for ritual, not cutting). To do this, set up a lit candle, burning incense, a bowl of blessed water and a bowl of salt to represent the four elements. Then pass the object over the candle flame (Fire), through the incense smoke (Air), sprinkle it with the water (Water) and then the salt (Earth). Finally, recite the following: Elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, to this tool of the magick now give birth. Blessed and consecrated in this hour, be thou (name object) of strength and power.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not perform any spell that affects another person unless you have that person's explicit permission to do so.
  • Abide the Witch's Rede, which states, "An' it harm none, do as ye will."

on 10/15/2009 Actually, witchcraft is existing. Why? God of Abraham unwanted us to commit such spells. But, the point is that, once you sent something, expect you will also receive something not in a big mean. That is why, God of Abraham prohibited the spell or witchcraft coz He know what will be it's exchange, right?

on 6/12/2009 Au contraire. Witchcraft is a religion. We don't even believe Satan exists! Grow up please. I have been practicing witchcraft for four years and nothing has posessed me or even come near me that is evil.

on 12/2/2008 Witchraft is a satanic practice even if performed unknowingly. In fact it often leads to demonic possession and other health problems. While witchcraft is currently being portrayed as a means of empowering a person it in fact surrenders the essence of a person to the will of demonic control. For anyone suffering from the effects of witchcraft there is hope for you in Jesus Christ. It is most important for you to allow for Jesus to save you by your accepting him as your Lord and Savior. Know that he came down from heaven and died to save your life which was dead in sin. This is no laughing matter. Your eternal soul is at stake and the consequences are very real. Please know that God loves you and the threats are very real all along the way but if you put your trust in God thru Jesus you will not only be saved but you will know true happiness like you never knew before.
